Could you not make your own? I have a soup Maker. I put a bag of chopped veg in it with 2 chicken stock cubes and hit water and it's done in 21 mins. I have a bowl each day
good luck with the refeed hun, and congrats on the 7lbs loss. just try and be careful as i have gained 7lbs since coming off LT and i'm doing slimming world. xx
shes lovely really i don't think she likes this kind of diet because she sees people gain if they move to slimming world without refeeding properly. I feel so good about myself at the moment so it doesnt really matter what she says anyway. at the moment im sat in a pair of size 14 jeans that are...
im loving it, not had any bad food, but think ve eaten too much pasta so only lost 1lb in all. its better off than on though. my slimming world consultant didnt even say anything!! i dont think she wanted to compliment me on losing weight on a different diet to the one shes promoting though. how...
im training for 16+, i have my degree already so its just a year course so i graduate with you! my placement is in a mens prison, i love it, not started teaching yet, just helping out in class etc. xx

im on day three of refeed and im still in ketosis (just checked the wee sticks) and i have lost 3 lbs, so if it somes to it and you have nothing else to chose have a chicken salad. it wont do you any harm and its not made me want to go and eat everything in sight. i'm sure i could get straight...
thanks hockey i think im going to have quit my part time job, its just hard as the bursery is no longer available.
weighed myself this morning and i have lost 3 lbs whilst refeeded!!! im very happy! xx :)
its just really bad migraines, brought on by stress. i'm doign way too much. i work, go to university, train as a teacher in placement and bring up a baby. its all got on top of me at the moment so ive got to take it easy.
GL is low GI i think, its the diet that lipotrim suggest to follow once...

thats great to know, as i am getting married in 2 years and am hoping to lose another 3 stone in the meantime. i was really worried that after doing tfr that i wouldnt be able to lose anymore. im going to look up GL. Thanks hunny xx
Well i have started refeed today due to severe migrane attacks. I think maybe its my body's was of telling me its time for a rest. i have done 11 weeks 100% so its abit scary having food again. Although it did taste yummy. Here goes
Day 1
B-Chocolate lipotrim
D- Vanilla lipotrim
T- 4oz turkey...
mines just on my belly, my bums tiny, i just got into a size 12 jeans but im still a 16 top!! going to join sw on monday to try get my last couple of stones off. start refeed today so gonna have to go get some food in xx
ok ive been to see dr and hes told me to take it easy, signed me off for a week and gave me some tablets to supress the attacks. its the second one ive had in two weeks so i think it maybe my body telling me its time for food. i am going to start my refeed today and see how i get on. thanks for...
ive been googling it and its a stroke like migrane, i had one 2 weeks ago aswell! i get migranes anyway but these two have been awful. my appointment is in a hour so ill check in when i get back. hope i can continue as i really want to get into the 12 stones xx
you need to do cardio, my OH is a fitness instructor (godknows how i let myself go when ive got him lol) and he said theres no point toning when you have the fat over the top so its best to do cardio to burn it off first. im not bothered about my bingo wings tbh, its my flabby belly that gets me...
hi nessie, my baby is 20 months and i have tried every diet goign to try and shift my baby weight, i gained 4 stone during pregnancy. lipotrim works but you need to have strong willpower as it is a very hard diet. it completely takes over your life and if you like going for meals or out drinking...
i didnt come off last night as i was in bed by 6pm. i took a funny turn, couldnt get my words out properly and couldnt focus. i think it was some sort of migrane. i have been getting them really bad since starting lipotrim. i am going to make a doctors appointment today and see what they say...
today im feeling really ill. ive got a sore throat, headache and just want to sleep. i'm thinking about refeeding as i'm constantly hungry today. i have abit to go though until i will be happy with my weight so i'm unsure what to do? xx
i don't care what people think of what i'm doing. its my body and my life so if they don't like it then its tough! i openly tell people what i'm doing if they ask and ive had mixed responses, however i'm not really interested in their opinion xx
no i don't as i have done LT before and cheated constantly and found it very hard to stick to because of this. this time though i have been 100% since day one, although last night i was very tempted to have a fish finger butty? i had a green tea and went to bed instead. weigh in this morning...
i have just tried on one of my vollers corsets and it fits!!!! i cant believe it to be honest. the last time it fit was about 3 years ago. im getting my sexy back woohoo xx
tomorrows a new day, start a fresh and forget about your blip. we all make mistakes and it will remind you next time you want to cheap that you will feel awful after xx
hi, i think it will be more like a 12 as i'm 5'6 1/2 and 13 st 12lbs and i'm a 14. it just depends on your shape though. good luck you will lose that easily. i want another 2 stone off for xmas xx
dee don't throw the clothes away, do a carboot sale. bowlers in trafford park is great. i did one there with my mum and we sold all of our clothes. people cant get 'big' clothes so you will sell your stuff easily. then you can use the money to buy new stuff xx
hi were planning to get married in greece in june 2013. we also cant book til april. who you booking with nikki? ive lost nearly 5 stone already and hope to lose another 4 by the time i get married. want to be my target weight by the time i order my dress xx
i'm planning on doing sw to maintain so i'd use that section but would pop on LT now and again to help people out. i couldn't have done it either without this site, you've all kept me going xx
i want to get to a 12/14, i dont think i would ever get to a healthy BMI as it seems so far away. i feel good at the size i want to be anyway. BMI is stupid my fella is classed as obese as hes 18 stone but theres not a bit of fat on him! hes does strong man so its all muscle. i think being happy...
what date you going up to glasgow? think im going to do your plan for my bday, shake, lunch in chiquitos then a meal with family at a lovely italian restaurant with wine maybe. then back on it the next day. just on the c25k website now, need to start toning as my tummys looking abit loose xx
Went for my 10th weigh in this morning and have lost another 4 lbs, making it 3 st 6 in just under 10 weeks. I'm loving lipotrim and hope i can keep it up to lose at least another 2 stone. hope everyones well xx
dont think i will be trying these, love my shakes as a smoothie. tried to make the mousse last week and wanted to throw up. it was a waste of a shake so wont be bothering again xx
im the same hun im on them every morning if i have time. it just helps me to stay motivated if i see the numbers going down. my scales are exactly the same as the pharmacy as well so that helps. if i weigh myself in the morning and then again before i go to bed i am always 2-3 lbs more at night xx
me too, its my favourite meal of the year! im so looking forward to it. Ive got my birthday in between now and xmas so i'm still trying to decide what to do for that. do i go cinema or a meal and get back on it the next day or do i refeed for a week and go get wasted??? decisions xx
yesterday i wore a vest, a jumper, a cardigan and a coat! it was sooo cold i wasnt risking it. im doing placement in a prison and its bloody freezing so layers are definately needed. xx
normal tea and coffee dont count towards it as they contain caffine but peppermint (caffine free) do count towards your water intake. i read this on another forum a while ago from someone who rang xx
thats what i want to be, more a 12 than a 14 though as i can get in 14 jeans now, but i just have my big flabby belly hanging over. starting placement in prison next week so had to go get some sensible clothes to wear, i don't really wnat to be spending money on stuff thats not going to fit soon...
See im fine at weekend it doesnt really bother me, but maybe thats cos i work at weekend. Off tonight so im going to the cinema with friends, staying clear of the nachos though! XX
fantastic hun, i thought the pharmacy would only let us get down to a bmi of around 24? im going to have a chat with my pharmacist when i go on wed as i don't really know what to aim for. i usually just aim for a size not a weight xx
my OH sat in bed eating chocolate biscuits last night! i wished he had gone away for the weekend now! lol. glad hes gonna be there to support you my OH is usuallyy great too xx
hi
i lost 3 st first time round and gained 6 st!! that was over a few year and during having a baby (4 stone gain) but i got lazy and ate crap for ages but now im adament to lose this weight. ive lost 4 st 6 all together, 3 st 2 of that in the past 9 weeks on lipotrim. good luck hope it goes...
Feeling much better now girls. I think it was a migrane. Stuck to the plan 100% although i did have a moment where i was tempted to eat a crisp butty. xx
ok so today i woke up feeling fine, went to get weight and have lost 3 lbs. when i got to uni i went in the computer room to do some group work and almost imediately i felt ill. had a pounding headache, felt dizzy, sick and my hand went numb?? i went to about 30 minutes of my lecture after that...
i think my sisters around 21 stone, she has gained the weight since meeting her husband. shes very depressed and has been going to weight management, shes lost nearly 3 stone already. shes set to have her op any time now. its really sad when people get like that but i felt like that sometimes...
my sisters only having to wait around 6 months for her gastric bypass as its funded here (salford). my dads friend had one a couple of years ago and its made him so ill, hes in his 50's and looks 90. i would rather do it naturally to be honest and if i have flabby skin then at least i have...
An extra shake will not knock you out of ketosis at all, my pharmacist told me if im ever really hungry then to have an extra one as its better than having food. i went through a hungry stage at around week 6 i think its just out body telling us its time to eat. xx
well i'm doing a test run with the others in my group on Wednesday so they can tell me how they taste.i think you can tell from the smell though. my senses are so strong while on LT. X
hi i did LT 5 years ago first time and its exactly the same hun. my mum did it 15 years ago and its not changed from then either. i love it, its the only diet that seems to work for me, xx
i bake cupcakes all the time. i really enjoy it. i also make lots of family meals. i'm training to be a college teacher at the moment and i'm doing a team teach next week where we are teaching how to make cakes, and the rest of the class will decorate them (my group is different degree subjects...
i was having one every two weeks before starting LT. however, i was on when i started the diet and didnt have another until 6 weeks later so im quite happy with that
i read about a girl on this forum who went out drinking while in ketosis, she collapsed and ended up in hospital. stick to water or refeed for a couple of days. its not worth it xx
just been for weigh in 2days early, as i've only got chicken soup left and am fed up of them lol. lost another 4lbs making it 2 st 13lb in just under 8 weeks! i'm hoping to continue with 4lb a week as i'll make my target easily :) hope everyones well. xx
Oh i do! i found them in the wardrobe when having a sort, and thought what the hell im gona see if the fit, and they did. been feeling abit bored of lipotrim recently and it gave me the boost to continue xx congrats on your 14s too xx
i think slimming world is only good if you dont have a lot to lose. it was getting me down losing a lb a week, and i feel fantastic on lipotrim. im going to rejoin slimming world when i get down to 11/12 stone.
im having a hungry day!
today started off crap, i got to work to find out that i wasnt even supposed to be working, i had been informed wrong(not a happy bunny). and i have just been sat in traffic for nearly two hours back from manchester (multiple crashes) listening to my parents, aunty and...
i'd do that too. i know theres at least 4 chemists near me that does LT so i'm sure it wont be too hard for you to find another. when i did LT the first time the chemist told me to go on hol and eat what i wanted then just get back on it when i returned, no mention of refeed. i gained 1st 3lbs...
ive just been speaking to my sister who is on the waiting list for a gastric bypass and she was told that you are more likely to get it on nhs if you have had one. you need to be depressed, have sores because of the folds of skin and have a bmi of less than 30 which you have maintained for a...
the nhs dont do them anymore, my friend has been trying for 7 years to get one after all her stomach muscles were ripped during prgnancy. she has had counselling ect to try get one as her stomachs a flabby mess and shes about a size 10. xxx
i have a picture of me at my goal weight on the fridge so everytime i get tempted and go in the kitchen i see it and it helps me to resist food as i know my desire to be thin is more than my desire to eat crap food. xx
i read somewhere that your skin continues to tighten up to 6 months after losing weight, so there might not be an issue. the first time i did LT i was 5 stone and got down to just under 12 stone, i didnt have any lose skin as i think drinking so much water helps. however this time around its...
I went to the lakes for a long weekend a couple of weeks ago, and i stuck to the shakes 100% but i was in the situation that i could as my fella was really understanding and didnt pressure me into going for meals. We did the sights and what not, then stayed in the caravan and chilled at night...
it depends on your shape. ive lost 4 stone and only gone down 2 sizes. im an apple shape so i hold all my weight on my stomach. i think you should be able to do it by xmas. im hoping to be in a 12 by then, fingers crossed. xx
i wouldnt have coke .if your going to have anything, have some carbs as a little cheat wont be too harmful to you, you'd be back in ketosis in no time. xx
i made that mistake last week. my fella does strong man, i asked him for some tips on exercise and when i was doing what he showed me he just started laughing :( im such a spaz xx
well done shivie, god im going on about my size 16s and heres you in your 12s im so jealous. ive got a pair of size 12 jeans in my wardrobe and i cant wait to get in them xx
i come on here, write stupid assignments and watch cartoons with my bambalina. need to find some time to exercise but i have a very busy life. i think i might start swimming too xx
well it was my first day back at work today after a month off(leave of absence to start my teacher training) and i feel fantatstic! ive never had so many compliments on my life. everyone who saw me said i looked great! gave me that extra boost to continue xx
I'm hoping if i can lose 5lb a week til my bday then i might come off early as i really need a night out! My friend wants to go out for a meal on saturday, she said can i not just have a night off? i think im going to tell her i have no babysitter as i dont think ill be able to get back on it if...
glad it put a smile on your face, i stole it from my old slimming world facebook group. been meaning to put it on for ages, some of them make me giggle, im hoping that in 2 weeks time i will have lost an elephants penis lol xx
just thought i'd post this so you can all see what youve lost, ive lost just over a small bale of hay!
Weight Loss Equivalents
1 pound = a Guinea Pig
1.5 pounds = a dozen Krispy Kreme glazed donuts
2 pounds = a rack of baby back ribs
3 pounds = an average human brain
4 pounds = an ostrich egg...
i lost 3lb this week and was a bit disheartened but then i thought about it and it would have taken me two weeks on slimming world at least to lose 3lbs and next week i'll prob have a bigger loss. you are doing fantastic youve lost over a stone in 3 weeks, what other diet could you do that on...
i go to the college too, and cos i did a course there a few years ago i get it even cheaper! not been for ages though, might book in soon and treat myself xx
i read a while ago about someone else in this situation and they rang lipotrim and were advised to drink a pink of skimmed milk as that is basically what the shakes are made of. dont give up xx
haha she was about 7 stone and 18 years old. it was a new thing when i did it then and i dont think she had been trained properly. i dont go to that pharmacy now. and thank god i have you lot now to help me through! i think i probably would have give in by now if i hadnt come accross this site :)
i think maintenace is alot cheaper than TFR. im going to rejoin slimming world after xmas, maybe before. i love the diet and know it inside out, but lipotrim is my way of shifting a large amount before going back to it xx
definately refeed before you go. i did lipo a few years ago and my pharmacist told me to eat what i wanted while i was away then get bk on it when i get back, i didnt refeed as i wasnt advised to and in two weeks i gained 1st 3 lbs! i did lose it in 2 weeks after getting back on it though. xx
i'm sure you can, ive read on another post that you can anyway. i know my pharmacy doesnt do the maintenace shakes so i dont think i would have the option. how much more do you want to lose? xx
Just been for my 6th weigh in and have lost 3 lb. Not too fussed that it isn't that much as its TOTM and i had a big loss last week so i cant expect massive numbers every week, but realistically on slimming world it would have taken me two weeks to lose 3 lbs! so im on a total of 33 lbs in 6...
I did find it years ago, five year ago but i pilled it all back on after doing it. And every time i tried to get back on it i failed. I think you have to have a reason to do it, the first time it was the ***** at work i went on holiday with showing people pictures of me in my bikini and this...
hi uklady, ive just been to the lakes for the weekend last week and i stayed 100%. it was so easy i am so focused to lose weight. we past so many lovely restaurants and the smells were so tempting but i didnt give in. just take the shakes with you and even if you have 2 a day and a healthy meal...
I'm craving healthy food! is this normal? I dont even think about junk food anymore. My friend has just joined the slimming world group i usually go to and has never done the diet before so i have been giving her recipes to try out, and i sooo want to eat them all lol. However i will not just...
thanks hun. i found it really easy to stick to it as we were visting places like the zoo and the sea life centre, so we took sandwiches for my OH and little one and i took my shake. so glad i didnt get tempted though. how are you doing? xx
See i dont mind chicken if its got loads of pepper in it for my tea. Love chocolate, dont mind vanilla but don't know how you can stomach strawberry its yuk!
im really lucky as my mum has done LT in the past so she knows exactly what im going through and my boyfriend is totally supportive. However his family think its a stupid diet and keep asking me do i want anything to eat, and how it must be so difficult for me not eating. i feel like saying...
i have TOTM this morning and i feel crap! im very irregular so its my 1st one while being on LT. all i want to do is curl up and sleep! however im a trainee teacher and have to go to a boring pointless lecture :( hope your feeling better today, and i always think to myself 'i will be slim' too...
I'm doing really good surprisingly. I went away for the weekend and stuck to LT 100%!! Can i just ask why the pharmacist said for you to stop at 10st 1 lb?
Well done youv'e done fantastic! And your BMI is in the healthy range now. You must be so proud of yourself. I hope i can manage 4 lb a week as i continue xx
of course you can lipotrim boy its just harder when you get back on it. i did it about 5 years ago the first time then went on holiday for 2 weeks (didnt do refeed as i had a crap pharmacist who told me to eat whatever and gained 1st 3lbs) and got back on it straight away and lost what i had...
thats exactly what im going to do. i have a picture of me at about 13st and i look sooo good (i carry my weight well), so i need to lose just over 2 stone and im aiming to do it by mid december so i can refeed for xmas and then go back on slimming world in the new year. i dont think it would be...
well im back from my holiday and i have been 100%. i cant really believe it to be honest. i think losing 7lb last week spurred me on. my OH was really supportive though, he didnt want to go out for meals in case it tempted me so he went to asda and bought loads of bits to eat in the caravan...
My first mini goal was to get under 16 st and i've achieved that so i'm setting a second mini goal of getting under 15 stone, ill see how i go from there. xx
i mixed peppermint tea in with my choc shake and added loads of ice cubes to make it cold, it was actually quite nice. try adding curry powder or pepper to the chicken soup as it gives it abit of a kick xx
great didea deezer! i treated myself to a new bag from river island last week as a reward at losing over a stone and a half in 4 weeks. its my anniversary next month so instead of going for a meal and drinks we are going to the cinema (just hope i can resist nachos yum). then the month after its...
yuk i cant stand the strawberry! but i suppose it abit of variety. im kind of getting bored of chocolate now but im not quitting.
good luck with your new job. i started my teacher training last week and ive been sat in the cafe with a shake while my friends eat chips ect. but i keep thinking to...
you have lost nearly a lb a day! that is an amazing achievement. i have read a few posts on here about peoples losses slowing down for a couple of weeks and they have been dishearted by it, but they stook at it and had amazing losses the week after. i think its just the stage where your body it...
I'd buy in bulk and buy yourself a set of good scales, or get weighed at sw or ww just so you have the judgement of someone weighing you. i know thats what helps me stick to a diet. good luck ss
dont cheat as lilac says its hard to get back on. ive been back on lipo for 4 weeks and not cheated once. however i have cheated in the past and its been really hard to stick to. my boyfriend gave up takeaways the day i started so its been a great help xx
you know whats making me struggle at the mo? bloody dominoes adverts on tele! my fella doesnt like pizza so its something i rarely get and i want one soooo bad. so ill have to sit through xfactor tonight and try not to give in xx
i had a chicken soup for the first time back on the diet last night, i added some curry powder and pepper and it was surprisingly ok, never tried it with curry powder b4. think ill be having it daily now seeing as the weathers getting colder xx
the sachets give you the minimum amount of calories that you need to survive per day without food so i wouldnt advise having less than the amount you are supposed to, however my pharmacist advised me to just have an extra shake if i was hungry rather than cheating but dont have less than the...
i agree with losit i dont think i could have coped without this site. ive done lipotrim a few times before but never stuck to it as i had no support and didnt refeed as i didnt know how so it all went straight back on, this time however i will be doing it properly and for the long run x
im just coming the the end of my 4th week and i love to cook for my family. it killed me at first but ive been baking cakes and cooking big meals for my boyfriend and daughter. it really doesnt bother me now as i enjoy the comments that im losing weight more than eating, good luck hun
i prefer chocolate, not had any chicken soup this time on lipo. might get some on my next weigh in seeing as though the weathers changing (i only like chicken soup in the winter). never tried the flapjacks as my pharamcist advised me against them x
Thats fantastic! I cant wait to get into a pair of jeans that i found last week. I bought them at the end of the first time i did lipotrim and they looked amazing. thats my goal x
Ye i think ill stick to it as i wont be drinking because i have a toddler who likes to run around and around and around. So i dont really get chance to sit down. So theres not much point coming off the programme. Thanks for the support. xx
hi everyone, i need abit of advice on what to do about my weekend away in 2 weeks time. i'm going to the caravan so i was thinking of carrying on with TFR while we are there as my boyfriends on a healthy eating diet so we were planning on taking the george foreman. this way i wont be tempted by...
